6 minutes for Kruijswijk. I'm calling it, he's on his way to win this stage.

Re: Re:

This attack reminds me so much of Michael Rasmussen back in the days.

What the hell are Sky doing?

Riding steady pace, they should up it. Maybe Thomas pr Froome is feeling bad

There saving riders for the flat and run up the Alpe.

Looking forward to Ala vs Bala on the Champs.

I think it's time for sport directors to assess situation in the breakaway and the peloton and make something up.
Sky's controlling this in such a way that we might see a rerun of the yesterday's stage.

 

[Billie]

the others took over lol

Kruijswijk has +2 min. on the others.Poor showing from the King,Zakarin,Valverde.I suppose that's why Kruijswijk attacked.

We already saw yesterday that he is way better than them.

Sky are slowly bringing back the second group, but Kruijswijk looks very strong.

I guess they want to keep an extra guy, probably Castro, for the descent and valley.

Re:

They're quitting in disgust at actually having to race I think.

Would be huge. But with Castro plus Bahrain and Movistar i can also see hum lose 2-3 minutes in the valley.

 

[Billie]

Tbf it's not like Naesen can ride any type of serious pace uphill

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

AG2R and Movistar are riding for placings. They don't believe in victory anymore

Is the long descent technical, or a pedaling downhill?

 

[bajbar]

Poels gone.

 

[Kwibus]

And ag2r as well... Oh god.

Or maybe not. AG2R and Movistar riding for GC places.

 

[Singer01]

Earlier than expected. Movistar hit the front.
